Niagara Aerospace Museum

Niagara Aerospace Museum

This museum is only a few minutes drive from the Rainbow Bridge, which crosses the border between the U.S.A. and Canada. The Niagara Aerospace Museum is located in Niagara Falls New York.

Both Bell Aircraft Corporation and Curtiss-Wright_Corporation operated R&D and manufacturing operations nearby in the middle of the twentieth century, and much of the material on display is from these two aviation companies. Among its many displays are many examples of early to mid-twentieth century piston, turbo-jet, turbo-shaft, and jet engines, as well as several static display aircraft including early Bell helicopters, an example of the World War II Bell P-39 Airacobra, and the Bell X-22 tilt-ducted-fan VSTOL aircraft.
